P RONOUNS AND A NTECEDENTS Grammar Work

Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns. Instead of repeating a noun over and over again, we use pronouns to help the writing. EXAMPLE: Kennedy was proud that Kennedy’s family produced many leaders. OR Kennedy was proud that his family produced many leaders.

List of Pronouns… I, me, mine, you, your, yours, he, she, it, him, her, his, hers, its, we, us, our, ours, they, them, their, theirs.

The key rule…  You must make sure the pronoun and antecedent agree with each other. Meaning, if the antecedent (the noun) is singular, then the pronoun must be singular. And, if the antecedent (the noun) is plural, then the pronoun must be plural.  DON’T WORRY – the example will clear this up for you…

EXAMPLE On August 15 th, 1657, the Vikings destroyed a Spanish ship. They killed the sailors and took the treasure. **The antecedent (the noun - Vikings) is plural, so the pronoun (they) had to be plural. The 2nd sentence would not make sense if you choose a singular pronoun….On August 15 th, 1657, the Vikings destroyed a Spanish ship. He killed the sailors and took the treasure.

Help fix these sentences!!! They are too repetitive!!!! Martin Luther King Jr. worked for Civil Rights. Martin Luther King Jr. helped to integrate schools. The election was close. However, Obama won the election. Samantha and Adam walked to the park. Samantha and Adam played on the swings. Mr. and Mrs. Smith read the letter. Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s reaction was priceless.

 When people are referred to as one group or one person in a group, you use a singular pronoun. EXAMPLE: Each of the skiers waxed (their or his/her) skis before leaving the lodge.  Look out for these tricky group words: everyone, anybody, anyone, everybody, each, nobody, neither, either.

Let’s Try Some Together…  Although a teenager may think that (their or his/her) parents are often overprotective, they are merely demonstrating how much love they have.  Everyone going on the spirit bus to Giants’ Stadium must get (their or his/her) permission slips in to the main office soon.  When a person is laid off from a job, (they or he/she) must collect unemployment.  The country has problems. Many people want to solve (it or them).
